t" COLLEGE OF INDUSTRIAL ARTS 

• (THE STATE COLLEGE FOR WOMEN) 

*" DENTON, TEXAS 



A 



The College of Industrial Arts is the pioneer Home 
Economics institution in the Southwest, and the only State- 
supported college for women in Texas with an unswerving 
ideal for the proper education of young women and the lab- 
oratories and equipment to carry out that educational ideal. 

The Department of Extension of the College of Indus- 
trial Ai-ts therefore, while prepared to render any assistance 
within its scope to the people of Texas, is bringing its special 
and particular energy to bear upon the home economics and 
other cultural service to the women of the State as they are 
reached through the 2,000 women's organizations of Texas. 

The obligation of this service to the women of Texas 
through their various organizations began when the first 
bill for the College of Industrial Arts was introduced in the 
Texas Legislature, at which time Texas club women made a 
strong fight for its adoption. The bill that was introduced 
later and finally adopted was written by Mrs. Helen M. Stod- 
dard, a Texas club woman, and among its successful lobby- 
ists were other well-known club women of the State who 
pioneeied the first campaign for public sentiment favoring 
the adoption of some legislative measure providing for 
the proper education of young women. Because of this 
strong friendship and cooperation on the part of the women 
of Texas, and because of the just and inevitable demand for 
a return service as soon as the College became able to ren- 
der it, the Department of Extension, in full cooperation with 
the Administration, has recognized that its first considera- 
tion and its greatest field comprises the home problems of 
these women and their daughters. 

Among the services the College has been able to render 
the women of the State through the Department of Exten- 
sion, there is not one in which the latter feels a more legiti- 
mate or personal interest than in the arrangement and pub- 
lication of the 1918 Homemakers' Course of Study, as here 
presented. The 1918 Homemakers' Course, a thorough re- 



vision of the 1914 course prepared at the C. I. A. by Miss 
Mary L. Watkins, organizing secretary of the Texas Con- 
gi-ess of Mothers and Parent -Teachers' Association, as- 
sisted by members of the faculty and the Department of Ex- 
tension of the College, is the work of Miss Nina B. Crigler, 
B. S., Columbia University, and Miss Lillian Peek, A. B., 
B. S., Columbia University, lecturers and demonstrators of 
the Department of Extension. The 1918 course, while not 
prepared in cooperation with the T. C. M. and P T A work- 
ers IS published in special compliment to that organization 
and the first thousand copies off the press are mailed to the 
Secretary of the Congress, for proper distribution among 
the clubs of the State. ^ 

^u -!^^ o ^™ ^^ ^^^ Deparment of Extension in arranging 
the 1918 course was to present a thoroughly practical and 
helpful study course for Texas homemakers; to select 
among the available mass of feeding, clothing, housing san- 
itation and conservation material, only that which, by log- 
ical and reasonable test, hews straight to the line of present- 
day needs. In thus bringing the course up to date, the ne- 
cessity for an intelligent comprehension of changed living 
conditions brought about by the war has been recognized 
and provided for in each of the seven divisions, with one 
special division reserved for a study of the women's war 
problems. The seven divisions mentioned are: Housing 
the family, feeding the family, clothing the family, sanita- 
tion and CIVIC attractiveness, child study, women in war and 
the art of living. 

In conclusion it may be stated that copies of the Home- 
makers' Course, in addition or aside from those sent the 
President of the Texas Congress of Mothers and Parent- 
Teachers' Association, may be obtained free by any Texas 
housekeeper or C. I. A. alumna on application to the Depart- 
ment of Extension, or by any out-of -State applicant on pay- 
ment of twenty cents per copy.
